As You Quote King Solomon, Remember the Woman at the Well With Six Husbands – Etinosa Tells Men

Etinosa is bringing the Bible into the conversation about infidelity, and her point is sharp. She told men that they love to quote King Solomon – a man with 700 wives and 300 concubines – when talking about marriage. But they ignore the woman at the well who had six husbands and was still approved by Jesus. Her message is simple, If you are going to use the Bible to judge women, use the whole Bible. Do not pick and choose verses that suit your argument while ignoring others that tell a different story.

The woman at the well is a famous biblical figure. Jesus met her, talked to her, and did not condemn her even though she had been married multiple times. He offered her living water instead of judgment. Etinosa is saying that men should take notes.

This conversation comes at a time when infidelity is a hot topic in Nigeria. Frank Edoho, his estranged wife Sandra, and singer Chike are at the center of one of the biggest sagas right now. Etinosa's comment seems to be aimed at the men who are quick to judge women while excusing their own behavior.

Reactions have been pouring in. Some women are applauding Etinosa for her biblical knowledge and her courage to call out hypocrisy. They say men have been using religion to control women for too long, and it is time for that to stop.

Some men have pushed back as They say the comparison is not fair because the woman at the well was not married to six men at once – she had been married sequentially. That is different from a woman cheating on her current husband.

Others say Etinosa is right, the Bible is full of flawed people whom God still used and loved. Women should not be held to a higher standard than men.

Etinosa has made her point. Whether men accept it or not is up to them.
